The singer is nominated for the highly-coveted Entertainer of the Year Award for the fifth time this CMAs, alongside reigning winner Eric Church, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood. Aside from Church, it would be the first win for any of the nominees. “”That category, to me, everyone’s deserving of it,” she told the outlet. “There’s never an upset when we all worked really hard to get here. I’m also glad there’s another female in the category because she needs to be there. She’s a badass.”
